marc.theaimsgroup.com does not exist anymore, so replace it
with a link to the archive on GMane.

I think it has been at http://marc.info/?l=git for some time.

Isn't GMane what all of us refer to on the list though?

Then your original log message is wrong, no? You earlier said that
we should replace it because marc no longer exists. Now you are
saying we replace it because we prefer gmane.
I do not mind listing both, but I think we should limit the
enumeration to the minimum and let "and other archival sites" cover
the rest.

How about doing this instead, to update all outdated or incorrect
information in that file? In addition to the marc.info update,
- refer to gmane;
- git-scm.org gives a CNAME with less commercial feeling to the
same thing;
- "A note from the maintainer" is not usually followed by useful
discussion to discuss status, direction nor tasks;
- There is no separate "What's in git (stable/topics)".

True.
